Cool idea but I'm kinda baffled by the new designs. The writer presents the thumb reach diagrams, but then the none of the new designs seem to conform to the very clear curve of those diagrams?

Because conforming to the curve assumes everyone is right-handed

Add a setting to use right, left, or ambidextrous (probably just the old design). Bonus points, make them pick the first time they use the phone.
